Parent Guides to Helping Children with Mathematics
At Glusburn Primary School, we follow White Rose Maths.
What is a Calculation Policy?
Every policy begins with the methods and resources we use at each stage, these are then referenced later in the document. We only teach certain methods at certain stages, and once this has been achieved we deepen children knowledge through problem solving and reasoning and improved fluency, speed and recall. We do not move to the next years methods. These documents explain what methods you child will be using in each year group.

Maths with Michael
White Rose Maths have teamed up with TV presenter, teacher and parent Michael Underwood to bring you a mini-series called Maths with Michael. We understand that many parents feel like maths has changed and can sometimes find it difficult to keep up to date with modern teaching methods in maths so hope you will find these short videos useful.
